To be honest, Sing seemed to me like one of those animated thingies where you could just switch out all the animals for humans and animation for reality and make absolutely no difference. And the film yould just be a Fame-like run-of-the-mill personal success story.

The continuing inflow of Image ID questions continues and our current guidance does not mention these specifically.
It's my understanding that the current 'rule' is that these are off-topic as not meeting site quality standards and are of neglible future value...right?

I have one on Science Fiction & Fantasy and could just use that. I doubt I've read much that isn't SF&F with which I identify and which has a unqiue and interesting character name (that's not already used by everyone and their grandma).

In the climax of Paul Verhoeven's Elle (2016),

"No animals were harmed in the making of this film" is so ubiquitous now it got me thinking about films where animals actually were harmed. Two examples jump to mind:
Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now in the scene when they sacrifice the water buffalo.
Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mount...

I have this story through the oral tradition (an artist friend and Jodorowsky expert related the tale to me.) Essentially, the story goes, no one wanted to slaughter all of the lambs necessary for the procession scene in The Holy Mountain and so Jodorowsky took it upon himself in service of his ...

Just after Titanic hits an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean the captain appears (after going to sleep) and announces:
All stop
In 'captains talk' what does this mean exactly? Are we expected as an audience to just 'kind of' accept and know what is meant here?
Is this a 'formality' for sayi...
